(A) Registered land surveys. It is the intention of this chapter that all registered land surveys under the jurisdiction of this chapter should be presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission in the form of a preliminary plat, in accordance with the standards set forth in this chapter for preliminary plats, and that the Planning and Zoning Commission shall first approve the arrangement, sizes, and relationship of proposed tracts in registered land surveys, and that tracts to be used as easements, or roads, should be so dedicated. Unless approvals have been obtained from the Planning and Zoning Commission and Council in accordance with the standards set forth in this chapter, building permits will be withheld for buildings on tracts which have been so subdivided by registered land surveys, and the city may refuse to take over tracts as streets or roads, or to improve, repair, or maintain any tracts unless so approved.
(B) Conveyance by metes and bounds. No conveyance of one, or more, parcels in which the land conveyed is described by metes and bounds, shall be made, or recorded, if the parcels described in the conveyance are less than two and one-half acres in area, and 150 feet in width, unless the parcel was a separate parcel of record at the effective date of this chapter. Building permits will be withheld for buildings on tracts which have been subdivided, and conveyed, by this method, and the city may refuse to take over tracts as streets or roads, or to improve, repair, or maintain any such tracts.
